OBJECTIVEThis study explores the effects of different fibrin glue combination modes on the survival, proliferation, and apoptosis of dental follicle cells (DFCs), as well as to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of fibrin glue as transplantation material.
METHODSThe membranes of surviving DFCs were marked using 3,3'-dioctadecyloxa carbocyanine perchlorate (DIO), and the cell number was counted by using ImageJ2x software. The apoptotic cells were marked with prodium iodide (PI).
RESULTSCompared with that of the 3D-2 and 2D-1 groups, the degradation speed of the 3D-1 group was the slowest. DFCs could survive and grow well in fibrinogen with a concentration of 15 mg · mL⁻¹ supplemented with thrombin with a concentration of 2 U · mL⁻¹. In particular, the 3D-1 combination mode was significantly conducive to cell proliferation and stretching.
CONCLUSIONFibrin glue can be used as an effective cell transplantation material. The different combination modes have certain effects on cell proliferation. The 3D-1 combination mode is more conducive to the survival and proliferation of DFCs than other modes.

Objective To investigate the effects of Shouwu-Yizhi capsule on learning and memory, and the expressions of presenilin 1(PS1),β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) mRNAs in the hippocampus following cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats. Methods Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into a Shouwu-Yizhi group, a piracetam group, a model group, and a sham operation group with 20 rats in each group. Focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 hours. Seven days after ischemia reperfusion, the rats in the Shouwu-Yizhi and piracetam groups were administered intragastrically Shouwu-Yizhi solution (52 mg/ml) and piracetam solution (28 mg/ml) for 28 days, both in dose of 1 ml/(100 g?d) for 28 days;and the rats in the model and sham operation groups were given intragastrically equivalent volumes of normal saline. Learning and memory were tested using the Morris water maze, and the expressions of PS1 and APP mRNAs were measured using real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR. Results Water maze test showed that the escape latency (12.98±0.70s vs. 9.43±0.78s) was significantly shorter, and the frequency of crossing platform (5.08±0.39 vs. 7.62±0.43) significantly lower in the model groupthan those in the sham operation group; the escape latency (9.77±0.58s vs. 12.98±0.70s) was significantly shorter and the frequency of crossing platform (7.40±0.44 vs. 5.08±0.39) significantly lower in the Shouwu-Yizhi group than those in the model group(all P<0.01). The expressions of PS1 (0.99±0.01 vs. 1.08± 0.03)and APP (1.06±0.03 vs. 1.12±0.04) mRNAs in the hippocampus in the Shouwu-Yizhi group were significantly decreased than those in the model group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion Shouwu-Yizhi capsule may inhibit the expressions of PS1 and APP mRNAs in the hippocampus, and improve the learning and memory following cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats.

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1)can interact with and exploit the host cellular machinery to replicate and propagate itself.Numerous studies have shown that the Mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signal pathway can positively regulate the replication of HIV-1,but exactly how each MAPK pathway affects HIV-1 infection and replication is not understood.In this study,we used the Extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)pathway inhibitor,PD98059,the Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)pathway inhibitor,SP600125,and the p38 pathway inhibitor,SB203580,to investigate the roles of these pathways in HIV-1replication.We found that application of PD98059 results in a strong VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus and HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.In addition,SB203580 and SP600125 also elicited marked VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus inhibition activity but no HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.We also found that SB203580 and SP600125 can enhance the HIV-1 inhibition activity of PD98059when cells were treated with all three MAPK pathway inhibitors in combination.Finally,we show that HIV-1virus inhibition activity of the MAPK pathway inhibitors was the result of the negative regulation of HIV-1 LTR promoter activity.
